Installation (-Problems)

When trying to install the can200-Interface i had the following problems:
Depending on the parallel-port of the computer i was not able to get one of
the linux-drivers (can200-0.2 or canbus4linux) running.
So don't throw away your can200 after the first unsuccessfull tries ;-)

I had no success to get the device working in PS/2-Mode of any parallel-port.
With an old P1 Intel-Mainboard i was only able to get can200-0.2 running in
EPP-Mode with another PC, which has the Bios-Settings EPP-1.7 or 1.9 the
can200-driver faild to detect the device with all settings.
At that PC, i was able to use ECP-Mode with canbus4linux.
The Windows-Driver i tested only with the last PC (P75, Win95, ECP) and it
was able to get some can-packets at 125kBaud, but for that Bus-Speed the
Operating-System on such a slow PC seems to be overloaded.

NEW

Layout for hardware revision 0.2

Martin did some corrections to his schematic, which should solve the problems mentioned above.
These modifications are included in the new layout.Caution nobody has yet built a prototype with this layout. It should work but it also might not.
